Construction on the $3.2 million Main Street Streetscape Enhancement Project begins Monday. The enhancement area is Main Street from Park Drive to James Garner Avenue. The project, which includes landscaping, decorative lighting and street furniture, is estimated for completion in June 2018.

Lenox Drive at Rosedale Drive, and Rosedale Drive just north of Lenox Drive will reopen to traffic on Thursday. At the same time, Camden Way at Rosedale Drive will temporarily close along with Rosedale Drive just south of Camden Way. The closures will allow the installation of the roadway drainage inlets at these intersections. The roadways are expected to reopen the first week of October.

Elmwood Drive from Chautauqua Avenue to Franklin Drive will close Tuesday at 7 a.m. for continued work to replace water lines. This block will be closed during the day while the water line work is underway in the area. The water line installation is expected to be complete by Friday.Homeowners will be allowed access to their homes at all times.

City of Norman water customers may be experiencing changes in the taste and odor of their drinking water due to recent rains and changes in water temperature at Lake Thunderbird. The water is safe to drink but may have a musty taste and odor.

Although Chautauqua Avenue will be temporarily open for game day traffic, it will close from Elmwood Street to Timberdell Street at 7 a.m. on Tuesday for continued work to install a new waterline. Due to unexpected delays, the project which was originally expected to be completed in August, is now anticipated for completion by the end of September if weather cooperates.

Beginning Tuesday morning, the north side of Wiley Road at Lindsey Street will close temporarily to allow for installation of a new drainage system. The road is expected to be reopened to traffic on October 27.
